Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Raiders found their guy under center in Mendoza: D-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Raiders took Michael Harris at slot 219, roughly 47 spots before his name belonged.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. DJ Moore gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick25 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in the 25th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
No drama and no debate, Brandon Cisse went about where he belonged in the 36th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They reached into another round for D'Angelo Ponds, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kevin Coleman Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
They jumped the gun on Tim Keenan III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Brenen Thompson
They reached a country mile for Brenen Thompson at Round 4, Pick 34, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at pick No. 174 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at pick 180 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Raylen Wilson at the 183rd pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd7 Michael Harris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Harris this early at No. 219. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
